Walmart's Black Friday promotions are out today, and the discounter says it bought so "deep" that it will have enough of three hot electronics items to satisfy shoppers who are in their stores Thanksgiving night.

To get a $75 Walmart gift card with the purchase of an Apple iPad 2, however, shoppers have to be in the store and in line between 10 and 11 p.m. on Thanksgiving. Duncan Mac Naughton, Walmart's chief merchandising and marketing officer in the U.S., says because many stores are open 24 hours, shoppers can come during the day on Thanksgiving.
